Synonyms Advert (to), Refer (to), Allude (to), Hint (at), remark (upon), take notice (of), dwell (upon), glance (at), animadvert (upon). These words are primarily used of the speaker in the conduct of his discourse. Advert, to turn to a thing directly and plainly, perhaps abruptly, so that the hearer's attention is fixed upon it for a time. Refer implies a lighter treatment than advert. Allude, to play upon, is a still more delicate reference to something that is well enough known to make an allusion sufficient, or is too much a matter of sensitiveness to permit the speaker to advert, or even refer, to it plainly; for these or other reasons, the mention is slight or indefinite. A still lighter reference is expressed by hint (at). See hint, v.
